Triumph Tiger Explorer / XC

Packing a powerful, ride-by-wire, 1,215cc triple in a tough steel frame, and passing that power to the rear wheel via a single-sided swingarm and shaft drive, the Triumph Tiger Explorer is built for long-distance adventure biking. Cruise control, traction control, and switch-offable ABS are all standard equipment. The package bristles with high-tech touches that include a comprehensive onboard computer and a high-output alternator to power all sorts of accessories. Also available: The Explorer XC, with wire spoke wheels, hand guards, crashbars, fog lights, and Matte Khaki Green paint.
